So I had a pretty great week here in Tetela.
To start off, I received my new companion, Elder Lujano. he's a very incredible missionary, and I feel really lucky to be his comp (maybe I'm secretly a trouble missionary, and that's why president keeps sending me very good comps hahahaha). He's from Michoacan, Mexico. He's the District Leader of our district, which is interesting, because it means we spend a lot of time out of our area. To put things into perspective, our area is about 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Cuautla, so we are always traveling places, sleeping at other companionships' houses, and going crazy, but that's okay. Last night we slept at our zone leaders', on the floor of their house. I probably got four hours of sleep, with probably no REM (kept waking up uncomfortable), but that's life.
Elder Lujano is a good dude. He's a very experienced missionary (he has 18 months in the mission, and 6 months as a district leader, going on 7 and a half). I'm learning a ton from him, and we're working extremely hard in our area. It's been very funny. I feel like this past week, I really started learning just what consecration is in the mission. Basically every thought and action of mind has been completely absorbed and dedicated to the well-being of my area, the growth of the branch, and the progression of the members. It's been a week of hard work, but I've been learning a ton.
I'm going to keep this letter short, because I'm going to send a bunch of photos. But tomorrow, I'm very excited, because we have our meetings with the President. We have a meeting with him every cycle, so I'm pumped.
Actually JK this computer can't read my memory card. That's great.
Anyways,
I love you all. I pray for you all, all the time. Please stay safe! Happy Easter!.
Love,
Elder William Jacob Long
